    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collections of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit these 
existing collections of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form SE is used by registrants to file paper copies of exhibits 
that would be difficult or impossible to submit electronically. The 
information contained in Form SE is used by the Commission to identify 
paper copies of exhibits. Form SE is filed by individuals, companies or 
other for-profit organizations that are required to file 
electronically. Approximately 782 registrants file Form SE and it takes 
an estimated .10 hours per response for a total annual burden of 78 
hours.
    Form ID (OMB Control No. 3235-0328; SEC File No. 270-291) is used 
by companies to apply for identification numbers and passwords used in 
conjunction with the EDGAR electronic filing system. The information 
provided on Form ID is essential to the security of the EDGAR system. 
Form ID must be filed every time a registrant or other person obtains 
or changes an identification number. Form ID is filed by individuals, 
companies or other for-profit organizations that are required to file 
electronically. Approximately 196,800 registrants file Form ID and it 
takes an estimated .15 hours per response for a total annual burden of 
29,520 hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether these proposed 
collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will 
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Office of Information Technology, Securities 
and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549.

    Dated: December 12, 2005.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
